Fanloid Wiki:Wikia community guidelines

The Wikia Community Guidelines can be found in full at Community Guidelines. This is a chopped up version.


 * Jump right in!
 * Don't be afraid to get started. Anyone is free to edit a wiki, so simply click edit and get started!


 * Collaboration is key
 * Collaboration means you work together to build, design and make decisions on a wiki. No one person owns or rules a wiki. Rather, it is built, supported and owned by all participating community members.


 * Practice open-mindedness & assume good faith
 * Since wikis are open to edit by anyone, users of all skill levels and opinions are welcome to participate. We assume that most people who work on a wiki are trying to help it, not hurt it.


 * Be Nice
 * Being friendly and nice goes a long way.


 * Welcome new users
 * Everyone has to start somewhere, so if you meet a new user who by accident made an improper edit, be nice!


 * Spread the word!
 * A community is only as strong as all of its members. The more it has, the stronger (and more successful), it will become.


 * Ask for help
 * If you are confused or need help, just ask! There is a lot of help all around you on Wikia, including our help pages.


 * Don't plagiarize content
 * Please remember to cite the authors properly. Or Make sure you have permission to use something before you copy it.


 * Don't use the wiki to spam your own links
 * Spam will be removed, so please don't add it to begin with.


 * Don't feed the trolls
 * The less attention they get, the more likely they are to move on. Don't play games with the vandals as this makes it more fun for them.


 * Don't make personal attacks
 * Any page or wiki meant just as an attack on someone will be removed. Any content that breaks our Terms of Use will be removed and your account may be disabled.


 * Don't bring fights from other sites to Wikia
 * If you are having a disagreement somewhere else online, bringing it to Wikia will not help. Please keep the drama wherever it started.


 * Always remember online communities still involve real people
 * Even though you are online, this is still a community made up of real people. Mean comments, aggressive behavior, and vandalism all affect real people. If you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it here. If it breaks our Terms of Use, please don't say it at all.


 * Never forget to have fun!
 * Wikis are places to have fun, meet new people, and learn more about your favorite topics. There is serious work to be done, but you should always remember to enjoy what you are doing!
